be prepared to laugh your tail feathers off......
I picked up a couple of tabletop incubators and decided to try my hand at hatching some mystery eggs from the auction house. They were sold as "Silkies X Sarama eggs" Naturally one thinks "ok that might be a cool mix and tiny" ummmm... they failed to mention they were also frizzle AND turken mixed as well. OOOH my lord. The first egg hatched out and it was a grey silkie turken. Face palm. Next one: Black silkie turken. Then a white silkie... turken (with very dark skin!) and then came the frizzles... and the turken frizzles. And and .. and... Good lord help me. I hatched mutants!!
Anyone want some really REALLLY tiny freakish looking babies?!
Figured this COULDNT POSSIBLY happen twice. Right?? so I bought another 2 dozen eggs. Hatch day arrives... oooh crud. Same weird combo. Of all the hatching eggs available for sale I probably bought from the same seller again.
Third try's the charm right??? Isnt that what everyone says? So I buy 6 dozen eggs and finally hatch day comes. I ended up with 9 black astralorps (look pretty much as advertised) and then... TURKENS AGAIN!!! The one breed my husband said no to. Now I have dozens. Oops Sorry honey! He really is creeped out by them. The real problem... my buyers look at them and cringe too.
Any one besides me think they are so ugly they are kinda cute?
Probably pretty inbred too.
Husband has banned me from auction eggs cause he says they will die of old age before I manage to sell any of them....
First Hatch:
Second Hatch:
(oh look something different... barred rock.... no wait its a turken.. ohh and a roo... *FACEPALM!*)
Third Hatch:
Oh lord. And its got a crest....wtheck
